Features: Emphasizes the design methods and approaches of programming, introduces typical programming case studies, focuses on practical programming exercises, and cultivates project development skills in programming. The book adopts a "task-driven" writing approach, incorporating case studies and heuristic teaching methods. It provides teaching resources such as electronic lesson plans and case materials, offering a comprehensive and multi-dimensional teaching support system to meet the needs of applied talent cultivation in higher education. C is a structured programming language that combines the characteristics of both high-level and low-level languages. This book is divided into 11 chapters, covering the following topics: basic concepts of programming, fundamental data types, operators and expressions, C statements and structured programming, arrays, functions, compilation preprocessing, pointers, structures, unions, and enumerations, bitwise operations, files, and library functions and their applications. The book is well-organized, with clear and detailed explanations of key and challenging concepts, supplemented by numerous typical examples to help readers master the basic knowledge of C and apply it flexibly in writing applications. Each chapter is accompanied by a rich set of exercises, primarily consisting of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and programming questions. Most of the exercises are selected from past national computer proficiency examination papers, making them typical and thought-provoking, allowing students to self-assess their learning outcomes and receive corresponding feedback. Accompanying this book is C Programming Practice—Solutions, Experiments, Course Design, and Sample Questions, where answers and explanations for all exercises in the main textbook are provided. The book is also supported by a teaching CD-ROM, which includes classroom teaching materials, program source codes, exercise solutions, experimental guides, course designs, and mock exams, forming a three-dimensional teaching system consisting of the main textbook, practice manual, and supplementary CD. This book can serve as a textbook for computer science or related majors in higher education institutions and also as a training manual for the national computer proficiency examination.
